JTM-45 re issue PT

Anyone know where I can find specs or datasheet info on the Daganall D4192? Would like to try 5U4 tube rectifier but need to ensure this PT can support the 3 amp requirement vs. the 2 amp pulled from 5AR4/GZ34 on the 5V tap. :scratch:

I could not find the specs on the reissue PT but a quick way to check is to plug in the new rectifier and monitor the PT for excessive heat. If the 5u4gb is too much of a load, the PT will let you know by heating up. If the temperature stays the same as it does with the gz34, you will be fine. A little extra heat wouldn't worry me but the PT should not get excessively hot.

Precisely what I am going to do. You read my mind. :rock:
